This year I plan on passing all small deer. I plan on passing up spikes and forks. hopefully i'll get a shot at a big 8 this year however I haven't seen any bucks scouting yet this year and I don't own any trail cams so we'll see.

7 pt or better with my bow and 8 point or better with my rifle. We have a 7 point rule where I hunt anyway so its not too hard to resist.

An 8 point at the beginning of the season but as the season goes on i will most likely lower my standards. But who knows, last year i passed on a 120" 8 point on the last day of the season.

around 120 to 125. but ill be honest, if a buck walks by during bow season, its probably getting stuck if it tops 110. i am in need of a bow buck. lol

thankfully, the past two years i havent been tempted to lower my standard by border line deer offering a shot. all bucks that i saw within bow range those years were little 1.5 4 or 6 pointers.

None. Hogs ain't got antlers and the meat's a helluva lot better eating anyway.

Oh, by the way... No closed season either.

None until I get my first buck, which by state laws has to be a 3-point (1" or better) on one side at least. After I get my first buck I'd probably consider only taking something that is higher scoring and/or older aged than my current best buck. Exceptions would be an injured deer, poor genetics deer, or rare color variation deer.
